Researchers from CNAG, the Institut Català d’Oncologia and other research institutions have compared RNA sequencing results from paired formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and fresh-frozen (FF) glioblastoma tissue samples. The study was performed as part of the Glioma Catalonia Group and...

The Human Genome Meeting 2017 (HGM2017) was held in Barcelona from 5-7 of February. This is the annual conference of the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO), a major scientific conference for human genetics & genomics, genomic medicine, and genomic biology. Ivo Gut, director of the CNAG, chaired ...

Spanish scientists have sequenced the genome of the Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus), currently one of the world’s most endangered felines. They have confirmed the “extreme erosion” suffered by its DNA. The Iberian lynx has one of the least genetically-diverse genomes. It is even less diverse than...

The CNAG has participated in an international study, coordinated by researchers in the Centre for Genomic and Experimental Medicine (University of Edinburgh) which has detected DNA changes in blood samples, paving the way for simple tests to aid diagnosis of patients suffering from inflammatory...

One of the great mysteries in biology is how the many different cell types that make up our bodies are derived from a single cell and from one DNA sequence, or genome. We have learned a lot from studying the human genome, but have only partially unveiled the processes underlying cell determination...

The CNAG can sequence more than ten human genomes every day. To decipher all this information we have set up a robust analytics platform with a BULL high-performance computer that will be able to grow seamlessly over time.
